In this edition of Katie's Desk, Katie gives her thoughts on the Silicon Valley Bank collapse.

[Certum Solutions] definitely saves us money. I am most impressed by their teamwork and dedication to their clients. I would recommend Certum Solutions to anyone who wants to run their business right.

Silicon Valley Bank’s (SVB) collapse late last week was the biggest news most businesses didn’t get to process before the weekend.

Personally, I saw the headlines, moved on, and then only was able to read more and research over the weekend. However, as I dug deeper into the details of the SVB failure, I realized it was more far-reaching that I thought. The good news was that I finished my research feeling confident that our economic policy and the Fed are already at work making customers whole and at the end of the day it is an exciting study of economics in action.

Are you a pack rat or have you gone digital? How about a mix of both? Either way, very few records need to be kept forever.

You’ll want to hold on to your receipts, statements, and other documents based on tax year and, in some cases, for other reasons.

Many of our clients run e-commerce businesses, and sell goods or services online. These are the top five ways I’m encouraging our business owners to entice shoppers back to their online stores.

Celebrating Valentine’s Day often brings to mind sweeping, dramatic love scenes. Think: John Cusack’s boombox serenade. Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan’s rendezvous atop the Empire State Building. Anna’s self-sacrifice for Elsa on the frozen fjord. In real life, we know that love is often found not in grand gestures, but in the little things.

This February, the team at QuickBooks Online is showing its love through small updates that mean a lot. More customization in QuickBooks Online Advanced and two changes affecting QuickBooks Payroll reduce friction for users.

Our economy has had quite the journey the last few years, and for many professionals that may have entered the workforce during Covid-19 shutdowns, travel might be a newer part of the job description. Even airports seem like they can’t quite get the hang of it (ask me sometime about my trip to Orlando and the missing checked bag that was waiting on my step when I got home a week later).

That being said, I have worked on hacking the airport travel experience lately (no more missing bags for me!) and wanted to provide my tips for a smooth journey, whether you are new to business travel, or you are, like me, learning to travel in a world full of oopsies as we get used to semi-normalcy again.
